I applied online. I interviewed at NIKE (Carlsbad, CA) in Aug 2014
Interview
online application, then phone interview, then there is a group interview but they pair you with someone and have you basically interview against that person which is cool because you get to display how prepared you are for the job. The other person doesn't necessarily not get the job but it creates that competitive vibe which Nike is all about. Overall,a great interview process.

I applied online. I interviewed at NIKE (Bellevue, WA) in Jun 2026
Interview
The interview was different from many I have experienced before. Definitely use the online aspect to your advantage and prepare before you submit your responses. The questions were moderately difficult to answer.
It was a very straight forward process, interviewers were very nice and made me feel super comfortable while maintaining a professional atmosphere. Interview was held over zoom online due to Covid at the time. Overall a good experience
Was not stressfull, didn't take too long. Just make sure to speak up a lot. Use STAR method. Friendly vibe, just try relate questions to personal experiences. Be well mannered and try lead conversations and ideas.
